A very good WWII exhibit, telling the Maltese story and how/why Malta was awarded the St. George Cross after the war. Because it is across the bay from Valletta, one needs to take the ferry over. Because of that barrier, this is not a well patronized museum. But it is well worth the trek. It is built where it is because it sits atop a bunker complex used to hide from Italian and German bombing raids during the war. And yes, you are allowed to descend and hike around the bunker. Once down there you will see various posters and black and white photos retelling the experience of the use of the bunkers. There are some tight squeezes, so if you have a fear of tight spaces or are less agile you may not want to wander very far. Upstairs, there's a nice black and white film running on a loop for an overview of the Malta/WWII story. There is also a very interesting (waiting to be made into a Hollywood movie!) story about a re-supply convoy from England attempting to make it to Malta through U-boat infested waters. A good number of the convoy's ships were sunk, but one vessel arrives (filmed in black & white) in Valletta harbor with it's bow blown clean through. How it didn't sink... ??? Some nice offerings/DVDs in the gift shop. Last, coming over to visit this museum also allows one to hike the charming local streets of the age-old tri-cities, where restaurants exist without parking for cars; they're just tucked into the neighborhood. Wear comfortable shoes!

So interesting place! You can experience a feel to enter in tunnels that used to be habitable while the WW2. I'm glad to have spent sometime here!

A fantastic museum with interesting artifacts which are very well presented. The shelters bring home the hardships endured by the people during World War 2.
Unfortunately we visited as part of a bus tour and did not get a great deal of time to browse.
We will definitely visit again the next time we are in Malta.

Excellent. Lots of history. Air raid shelter a must but can be claustrophobic. Make sure you put the hard hat on. Watched the Malta Story Film before and this made the experience more real.

An impressive museum covering the history of Malta during the second world war. The exhibits on the upper floor are good but what really makes it is the quality of the information supporting them. They've worked with the Imperial War Museum in London and the expertise really shows. The information is absolutely fascinating and very well written.
Underneath the museum is an extensive tunnel network where Maltese people sheltered from air raids. This area is also really interesting and gives a clear sense of how bleak conditions were.
This museum is a must for anyone interested in Malta in WW2.
